Hallo liebe Leute
Bitte gebt schön Acht
Denn wir haben euch hier und heute etwas mitgebracht
Text für'n Kopf und Musik für's Ohr
Macht euch drauf gefasst
Wir machen euch was vor!
Durchs Ohr, ins Gehirn und direkt in Bauch
Machen jede Menge Schall
Und ziemlich wenig Rauch.
Mal leise und mal laut
Mal flüsternd und mal krachend
Kurz: Wir sind gekommen, um Musik zu machen.
Im Club oder Saal oder Open-Air
Radio und CD alles kreuz und quer
Die Hauptsache ist wir sind mit dabei
Licht an
Und Bühne frei!
Dreh' völlig ab oder bleib ganz cool
Lehn dich zurück oder tanz auf'm Stuhl!
Sing mit oder nicht!
So oder so
Herzlich Willkommen, hier ist die Wise Guys Show!
Wir kommen nicht aus dem schönsten Stadt der Welt
Sondern aus der Stadt, die sich für die schönste hält
Dieser Köln-Effekt
Der manchen Fleck verdeckt
Hat uns nie verschreckt
Köln ist einfach korrekt!
Wir geh'n zum Lachen auf die Bühne
Und nicht in'n Keller.
Können auch ohne Kölsch fröhlich sein,
Doch mit gehts schneller.
Wir machen was wir wollen
Sonst lassen wir's sein
Und darum passen wir in keine Schulblade rein.
Schubladendenken - Blödsinn mit Methode!
Wir machen unser Ding eben neben der Komode.
Die Hauptsache ist, ihr seid mit dabei.
Licht an
und Bühne frei!
Dreh' völlig ab oder bleib ganz cool
Lehn dich zurück oder tanz auf'm Stuhl!
Sing mit oder nicht!
So oder so
Herzlich Willkommen, hier ist die Wise Guys Show!
(gesprochen) Meine Damen und Herren, die Band.
Clemens, Sari, Ferenc, Eddie und Dän
Fünf Autobahnmatrosen, ohne Kapitan
Fahr'n durchs ganze Land
Ständig unterwegs
Manchmal mehr schwer in Eile
Nichtmal Zeit für'n Keks
Showtime!

Put on your best clothes
We've been waiting too long for this moment
I'll put on my best smile
I'm shining inside and I'm proud of our love but
Everytime I turn around you say that you're not checking for love in that way
But everytime I come around you seem
So ready for this
Showtime our love's coming out
Lights camera action show what we're about cuz it's
Showtime our love's breaking out
Let's show the world you're my boy
I'm your girl cuz it's
Showtime our love's coming out
Lights camera action let it all hang out
Cuz it's showtime
Yeah our time is now
Let's show the world you're my boy
I'm your girl
Let's break a leg out there
This could be the start of the rest of our lives
I've got so much to share
And I'm ready to put it all out there for you
But everytime I turn around you seem
So afraid of what people might say
But can't you see it's a game they play
Trying to cast a shadow on our love
I wanna love you when I want
Want to love you where I want to
Wanna touch you when I wanna
Wanna kiss you when I wanna baby
Because it's not fair to love you in chains
Showtime...
Showtime...
People tell me I'm not getting younger in this place
The other guy in this room I'm sick of his face
And there's a guy who's watching me, it really is a drag
Hassling me on my way to work making license tags
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Showtime...
Showtime...
Eight long years to do, I've just finished two
These walls are a little bit tight
I'd rather be with you
Good behavior and I'll be out on parole
Or maybe I'll bust outta here, I'm losing self control
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here...
Well i was young and in love, I pulled the perfect crime
You blew the whistle on me baby, and now I'm doing time
I guess you never loved me, you used me like a tool
And that guy out there with you, must think that I'm a fool
But you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'll find you baby, on that you can bet
I didn't mind the risk of a life of crime
When I get out of here
Showtime

Music Hatakka-Yli-Sirnio-Waltari
Living so eek trying to reach the peek
living is so ooh someone's knocking on the door:
SHOWTIME!
Buzz of conversation reaches my deaf ears
can I hear anything? All I can hear is dim:
SHOWTIME!
Why, why should I cry, I feel so high
We don't wanna try, we can touch the sky
Now it starts to crumble
reality isn't here
space is full of colors
restless moving spheres:
Showtime
Hang a guitar on my shoulder
Check the vacant drooling faces round the room
Another heartbreak battle
And I'm only getting older
Jesus help me when I say I'll give it all up pretty soon
Daytime
Time to fight the morning's headache
Gulp an aspirin bang together one more song
Inspiration cauterised
By years of useeless heartache
Every shallow nights reaction sounding twisted up and wrong
These last years
Years gone down to the showtime
Showtime
Try to catch the spark
That got me hooked so many years ago and died
Second-rate musicians
Feeding infantile illusions
Reading music magazines to keep the habit satisfied
Pitching
To some demographic average
What the hell he's staying home for, I don't see him here tonight
Thirteen years and over
Tuned to radio between the hours
Of six and seven-thirty, AM programmer's delight
These last years
Years gone down to the showtime
I never knew it could be
So misleading
Waiting for the final song to end
In this dirty nightclub
All the souls are bleeding
Reaching for the big decision
Disco floor or television
Time and time again
You hear the so-called friends
The smug de-facto critics in their movie backdrop cities
Sneering sitdown and listen
Life's a lonely escalator
It's a fool who doesn't know he has to leap off at the end
Well they were never at the guesthouse
With the ghost of Jimmy Rodgers
Watching Townsville sugar sunsets back in 1959
And they'll all be gone when the end is come
And I'm kneeling in the backroom
Oh, no no no
Can I get a ... ?
I know you're feeling my show time, yeah, yeah
Get ready baby, this is about to go down, go down
I know you got the word that big daddy is in town, town,
town
I know you got your best song for your boy
And I got some new hits you gonna enhoy, oh
Starting with your favorite song
Girl we're about to get it on
It's show time, I'm gonna do the stage, girl I wanna get
you screaming
It's show time, so get up off the seat, get up, I'm about
to give you ...
So get your hands in the air, I'm about to get it ... I
can see it
I know you feel about the show time
I need a standing ovation, yeah, I need
This journey starts six years ago in a run down housin' estate
In bow East London, south east UK, was a young man
Lets call this young man, Ray
Frustrated wiv bein' around the way would say, "I'm bored"
Until one day gathered up some change
And in exchange got turntables off Tony
Not only, were they whack, they were wooden
But he took 'em 'cos it was a bargain and it was a good'en
And he said to himself, "Who wouldn't?"
Why not, then he took a little trot to DJ Targets squat
Stood outside the door and knocked
Asked what jungle records you got?
Must be somethin' you wanna get shot, of, blot
Din't buy beats, he ready to quit, gave him the whole lot
Then Ray had little click, they were hot
Young gun soldiers but it all flopped
Still it didn't make Ray wanna give up the fight
Ray jus picked up the mic, would write, lyrics while excluded
No gifts and glamor included
Like crime for money, dough, crime pays, didn't ya know?
Even though Ray come across slow
Broke shit down, brung another new flow
Made beats in the back room
Teacher gave him a new spare time
Then they got a little bit o'radio airtime
1:00 A.M. till 3, be in school by 9
This was clearly a positive sign
Learnin' 'bout beats, breaks and bars
Didn't chat about champagne and cars
More concerned wiv you know, the grime
Made it a touch difficult to shine
Among these so called underground stars
Some resented him thus presentin' him with pure dumbness like retards
It didn't matter, Ray would say, "Okay, I'm gonna be a real star one day"
Went through dramas along the way
But he stood firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
Went through dramas along the way
But he stoof firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
Went through dramas along the way
Let's take a look at Ray today, today, today
I invited you to to the show
I didn't know it'd sell out though
And guest list's full
But if you left it until the day
I've tried my best but there's no way to get you in
And it blows but showtime is over
And I'm sorry I'm drunk and you're sober
You always get in free
When you're something to do with the industry
And not friends we me
Even though I've known you for years
They're still backstage drinking beers
Fingers in ears
Don't even bother asking for a +1
Pick up my telephone
Then I hear the dial tone
Punch in your number
And then it starts to ring
Then I hear your voice
On the other line
Took a deep breath
Showtime
Dollar sign
Pumpkin pie
Please hand me some of those fries
Too short, too tall
Too fat, to small
Girls are mean
Make me me scream
Then I read my magazine
Just a teen cover scene
She thinks she's a royal queen
I know that you know how
I feel right now
It's not easy
They believe me
I know that you know how
I feel right now
Someday I will lose
All this doubt
Somehow
Barbie doll
Shoppin' mall
Matches just a know it all
Too shot, too tall
Too fat, too small
Makes me mad, makes me sad
Wanna cry but that's too bad
Twilight zone
All along
Scream into my microphone!
I know that you know how
I feel right now
It's not easy, they believe me
I know that you know how
I feel right now
Someday I will lose
All this doubt
Somehow
Mirror mirror with disgrace
Makes me wanna hide my face
Makes me wanna disappear
Tell me what I wanna hear
Now that it;s so loud and clear
Runnin' far away
But I know that I'll get there someday
'Cause I'm just another girl
Tryin' to find my place
Hey I know how you
Feel right now
It's not easy
You'll believe me
Yeah yeah yeah!
Hey I know how you
Feel right now
Someday you will lose
All this doubt
Sooner or later
You'll lose all this doubt
Some how!
just wait....pick yourself up off the floor, you know you've been here before
set your mind straight and recall
now go flat broke to our home show to piss off kids we don't know
we'll play the same shit, then we'll go
fucked up! we're not going anywhere, throw your fist up in the air
fucked up! no one's gonna care, throw your fist up in the air
spend all our rent and our last time just to lose control one more time
fucked up! we're not going anywhere, throw your fist up in the air
shows end, hit the same old road again with the tour van and our friends
same way it's always been
throw down, bang through another round
then we'll hit the same old town for as long as it's around
fucked up! we're not going anywhere, throw your fist up in the air
fucked up! no one's gonna care, throw your fist up in the air
spend all our rent and our last time just to lose control one more time
Composed by Ruby Tuesday
You're getting tired of the same old scene
You dream of places you have never been
And you can't hold it in no more
It's the moment that you have been waiting for
You never ever thought that you would be
Somebody people want to pay to see
It comes so naturally to you, but you never knew
That you'd be going to Hollywood with the "chosen few"
Drive, jive, feeling alive
Tell them that you'll never surrender
Go, go, and put on a show
No-one can ever take it away
When you know just what to do, and the time is right
Take your attitude and step out into the night
You'll be dealing with the feeling of butterflies
The people are ready for showtime
When you hear the people everywhere call your name
Then your life is never gonna be quite the same
Guard your money on your journey to fortune and fame
The cameras are ready
[Mizzle Talks:]

[Verse 1:]
This sound like a curtain call, tell em bring the Oscar
Get my Godfather on, tell em bring the pasta out
My niggas eatin good too, tell em bring the Lobster out
I got these bitches burnin up, tell em bring the doctor
I clutch like Fisher, rollin up like Swishers
A over night celeb blowin up like Twister
Young like Carmelo, but I feel like Isaiah
So fuck BET if them niggas don't want to play us
And fuck Interscope if them niggas don't want to pay us
But I might take that back if you niggas know what I'm
sayin
Some old DJ Quick, you niggas know I'm playin
It's Showtime baby you niggas know I'm sayin
Let's Go
[Hook:]
Where all my niggas at? Twisted in them fitted caps
I just to get it, but I get just to give it back

It's Showtime niggas (What Up)
Where all my Ladies at Beamers and Mercedes black
You in this shit to win it, just remember I done gave

[x4]
It's Showtime niggas (What Up)
[Verse 2:]
Now I got my bounce back, tryin to get the money up
Bitch I'm in the studio, ain't tryin to pick no Honey's
You listenin to yo home girls, they hear you with that
funny stuff
Tryin to have my baby now, I'm tryin to keep yo tummy
tucked
Six pack shaped right, head like snakebite
Curves like a new Benz, I'm tryin to hit them break
lights
To make nights memorable, I'm hopin for an interview
And when it's all over, I'm just hopin I remember you
Cold like December you know I'm not into you
I know you heard "Bite Me" look you know I got
interviews
Photo's and promo's, smilin like my logo
Shout out Crooks and Castles dog
But now I'm in this Polo
Let's Go

Let's have a safe summer LA
I love ya'll
The storm is coming big time
So they say
They say it's really big now
That's what they say
What about the houses
Shall we move?
Is it safe to be here?
In the storm
The storm is coming big time
We have a place to hide
We will turn on the radio
And listen in the dark
The songs we no longer hear
I think it's showtime
When the storm is out there
We would hide
While the women sing loud
We would kiss
But listen to the radio
We'll be warned
Damn will mean a new thing
In the storm
The storm is coming big time
We're gonna have some time to spare
We will stay in our houses and look occupied
And look at the flames we no longer see
I think it's showtime
Many lives the storm will take
Some it will fix
Some will drown in water
Some will drink
'Cause after every bit you dry
Comes a sweet one
We will learn our lesson
After the storm
Right after the storm stops
We will rise
Smiling with the daylight
We'll feel alive
Right there in the storm steps
We'll wonder how
How long we'll be as fresh as we were
After the storm
The storm is coming big time
We have a place to hide
We will turn on the radio
And listen in the dark
The songs we no longer hear
The storm is coming big time
We're gonna have some time to spare
We will stay in our houses and look occupied
And look at the flames we no longer see
Showtime
Don't ignore the beauty·Of your feelings·And join the circle of smiles·Please fill my cups with passion·Fill my sense with love·Fill my heart with truth·Feel your rising energy·And scream whenever you want·Please fill my cups with passion·Fill my sense with love·Fill my heart with truth
Showtime remember me falling
Showtime give me a kiss again
I used to think that I was wack because I wasn't black
So I started blackin' out on every fuckin' track
There's no survivin' on this island
If you're tryna go mining for a diamond
Don't deny it, I don't mind
But the moment that you even think of lyin' to a lion
